Eyelid surgery work

The eyelid lift page describes upper and lower blepharoplasty for excess or wrinkled eyelid skin, loss of the upper eyelid crease, and puffy fat pouches (https://www.bodybyz.com/procedures/face/eyelids-blepharoplasty). The site states upper and lower eyelid lifts can be performed in the office as an awake procedure with local anesthesia and no general anesthetic for good candidates. The before-and-after gallery shows eight labeled patient cases, mostly women in their 50s and 60s who underwent upper blepharoplasty, and one combined upper and lower eyelid case (https://www.bodybyz.com/our-gallery/face-gallery/eyelids-blepharoplasty-gallery).

Other procedures

The practice also offers face and neck lifts, brow lift and ear tuck, rhinoplasty, neck liposuction, and non-surgical fillers and Botox for the face, along with breast and body procedures including his published transaxillary breast augmentation and Trans-Abdominal Breast Augmentation (TABA) techniques (https://www.bodybyz.com/about/meet-dr-z).
